Things To Do This Week.

Come In Like a Wrecking Ball.

On an annual basis, it seems, the second week of March is generally one of the busiest in Dallas.

While a lot of this can be attributed to the glut of spillover shows from bands performing in town on their way to or from SXSW, let's face it: Much of the week's revelry centers around the annual Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day Parade. That event, in particular, is one that seems to require just as much energy to attend as it does to actively avoid.

But, hey, it does give you a chance to cross a very important item off your list of things to do in Dallas before you die.

So there's that.
